Squid jeotgal is a very popular traditional, salted, and fermented seafood in Korea. Due to the development of a distribution structure, a lot of imported squid jeotgal has recently entered Korea. In this study, we analyzed and compared the microbial contamination levels of domestic and imported squid jeotgal. The total viable bacterial count in domestic and imported jeotgal was 5.20 and 5.38 log CFU/g, respectively. The highest contamination level was 6.94 log CFU/g in one of the imported squid jeotgal samples. Coliforms were not detected in domestic jeotgal but were detected at 50% with 2.21 log CFU/g in imported jeotgal. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were not detected (ND: <1 log CFU/g) in both domestic and imported jeotgal. All samples of jeotgal were negative for Bacillus cereus and Clostridium perfringens. The microbial contamination levels determined in the current study may be utilized as primary data to execute microbial risk assessments on domestic and (or) imported jeotgal.

New manufacturing process was applied to manufacture the low salted Squid-Jeotgal to improve the quality variation salty taste and shelf-life. It's optimum salting and sugaring process was made by the addition of $17\%$ NaCl for 3 hr and $15\%$ corn syrup for 4 hr with 10 rpm agitation. Quality variations of Squid-Jeotgal produced by the improved and the conventional process were packed by jar, polyethylene lerephthalatefpolyethyleneilinear low density polyethylene (PET) and low density polyethylene (PE). And then quality variations of them were investigated at storage temperature of 10, 20, and $30^{\circ}C.$ Decreasing rate of pH, increasing rates of VBN and viable cell counts of Squid-Jeotgal produced by the improved process were slower than those of the conventional process at all storage temperature. Sensory evaluation indicated that the production of Squid-Jeotgal by the improved process extended the shelf-life about 10-20 days.

Fermentation plays a vital role in the nutritional enrichment of food. Korea has a long tradition of adding fermented food to the daily diet and jeotgal is one of the common fermented and salted foods in Korean cuisine. In our study, we added soymilk as an additive to squid jeotgal to improve its functionality. We mixed different concentrations of soymilk (2, 5, and 10 mg/g) with squid jeotgal samples, fermented them for one week, and then tested their antioxidant and anticancer activities to compare with those of squid jeotgal samples without soymilk additive. To investigate the anticancer characteristics, glutathione-S-transferase (GST)-pi enzyme assay was used. To test the antioxidant activities, various assays were performed, including 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl free radical scavenging activity, 2,2-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium saltradical cation scavenging assay, and reducing power assay. Samples fermented with a small amount of soymilk showed excellent anticancer activity. The addition of only 2 mg/g of soymilk to squid jeotgal inhibited the activity of GST-pi by almost 50% when compared with the sample with no addition. Moreover, no undesirable bitterness or astringency was noticed. Our results could help to improve the current food status of squid jeotgal and it could be used to reduce the risk of chronic disease along with its basic nutritional function.

Jeotgal fermentation is dependent upon a diverse microbial community, although a detailed understanding of its microbial composition is limited to a relatively small number of jeotgal. Pyrosequencing-based bacterial community analysis was performed in fermented squid, ojingeo jeotgal. Leuconostoc was identified as the predominant bacterial genus, with Bacillus and Staphylococcus also accounting for a large proportion of the bacterial community. Phylogenetic analysis with 16S rRNA genes of Leuconostoc type species indicated that L. citreum- and L. holzapfelii-like strains could be the major Leuconostoc strains in jeotgal. High concentrations of NaCl were thought to be an important factor determining the makeup of the bacterial community in the fermented squid; however, a genomic survey with osmotic stress-related genes suggests the existence of more complex factors selecting the dominant bacterial species in fermented squid.

In this study, we propose a squid jeotgal, Korean fermented seafood, supplement with different soy isoflavones supplements, followed by fermentation for different time intervals at $4^{\circ}C$ to increase the antioxidant activity and improve the food value. In the first month, fermented jeotgals with at lowconcentration ($2mg\;g^{-1}$) of added soy isoflavones showed a significant increase in the activity of up to 55%, whereas, at high concentration ($10mg\;g^{-1}$), the activity almost doubled compared to that of the sample without isoflavones. Moreover, the squid enriched with isoflavones also exhibited significantly decreased total volatile base nitrogen, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, and biogenic amines, indicative of higher inhibition of the formation of these substances. The changes in the microbial profile were also evaluated. This use of soy isoflavanones as an additive could aid in improving the nutritional value of fermented seafood to reduce the incidence of age-related and chronic disorders.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are widely used as starter culture in food fermentation due to their harmless entity and health beneficial properties along with the ability to change texture, aroma, flavor and acidity of food products. In this study, five different LAB (FB003, FB058, FB077, FB081, and FB111) isolated from different Korean traditional fermented foods, assigned to Lactobacillus plantarum, Pediococcus pentosaceus, Weissella viridescens, Lactobacillus sakei, and Leuconostoc mesenteroides, respectively, on the basis of their physiological properties and 16S rRNA sequence analysis, to use as fermentation starter and check their ability to fasten the ripening time as well as the overall optimization in the fermentation condition. To check their suitability as starters, their safety, acid and bile tolerance, NaCl and temperature resistance, susceptibility to common antibiotics, and antimicrobial activities were determined. Squid jeotgal samples were prepared by adding $10^8CFU/g$ of each strain in different samples, which were then kept for fermentation at $4^{\circ}C$ and checked for their antioxidant activities at 0, 7, 15, and 21-day intervals. The samples fermented with FB003 and FB077 displayed the highest antioxidant activity. This study revealed two effective starter cultures (FB003, FB077) for squid jeotgal fermentation, which presented increased functionalities. The results of this study will lead to the development of novel industrial-scale production avenues for jeotgal preparation, and offer new insights into the prevention and control of chronic diseases.

Jeotgal, salt- fermented sea food, is a kind of Korean traditional foods. We carried out hazard analysis on Changran (stomach and intestine of Alaska pollack) Jeotgal and squid Jeotgal through the whole processing procedures at H Co. located at Guryongpo from April 2000 to September 2001. During this studying period, we educated employee regularly and analyzed hazards on the whole process and then could conclude that pathogenic bacteria and metal particles were most important hazards in Jeotgal. Metal particles in end-product will be eliminated by laser detector before packaging. But bacteria must thoroughly manage through the whole process. Bacteriological qualities of the end products were much improved after education for the employees and by effort for HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) program introduction. Pathogenic bacteria such as pathogenic Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., coagulase positive Staphylococcus aureus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus were not detected from not only raw materials but also end products. The falling bacteria in the places such as thawing area, packaging area, seasoning area, fermenting room, subsidiary materials room and storage room were less than 30 CFU per plate for 30 minutes during working time. But those were increased more than 10 times during the resting time. It means that special measures are needed during the break time such as lunch time or exchanging working teams.
